sorrows dreamYour eyes cast down as if in hatred or disappointment.
I reach for you and come just short of grabbing onto you.
I see you turn and start to walk away.
I try to run after you,
But the look of pain upon your face paralyzes me.
The sadness that has overtaken you has reached out.
It has reached out its tentacle like arms and enveloped me.
I feel the sorrow surge through me,
And I collapse on the ground, helpless to stop it.
I can't stop you,
I couldn't stop you.
The grief swarms over me at the sight of your emotionless face,
As you slip through my fingers,
As if you are the tears that slip from my eyes.
I awake to a tear soaked pi

the fall of innocence

he ran his hands downward
a rough grating pull
dermal scrape against the bark
and his fingers ran crimson
mixing with the pale
white-hot bone flesh
of his solitary silent companion
(his midnight confidant)
speaking only whispers
bearing only bloody fingerprints

where
in pale moonlight
the two had danced
had to branch to shifting soil
a sinking sickening waltz
darkened bruised fingers grasping
the pale eager trunk
before he fell
headstrong
headlong
in the earthen carpet
bloody tears washing
across broken branches
breathing whispered last rites
across hi

losing the ability to fly

i stood on the edge of a cliff
and felt my voice
far-flung and distant
resonating through the clouds
leaving me (soundless)
silent

a meeting of lips
with no kiss
a mother
with no children
a poet
with no words

for i had nothing to say
a whispered breath of dust

my spirit
taken from me
travelling on without
into lightless sky
my desire
passing through the eye of a needle

the phoenix also rises

when did the future turns to ashes
when did my dreams turn to dust
i thought that all my prayers had been answered
but God,
why at my expense
have i doomed myself to failure
have i cursed myself with emptiness
a constant reminder
of an existence i can never have

and in the morning
long after the fire has died
the phoenix also rises
rising from the ashes
and in the morning
long after the flame has gone
the phoenix also rises
but i do not,
(i will never rise again)

i used to burn so brightly
consumed with passion
(light the match / set me on fire)
i want to burn again

this desolation

he shivered, fetal
cold
surrounded by friends
haunted by memories
and whispers slipped
from his icy throat

fashion over function

verse 1:
you woke up in a sea of bodies
these twisted limbs wrapped round your spine
it\'s so much easier to deceive yourself
it\'s so much easier to believe your own lies

chorus 1:
and maybe someday you\'ll forget to get away
and maybe someday you\'ll forget today
and is there some way that we can move beyond
when love is nothing more than fashion

verse 2:
you woke up in an empty bed
with all your memories of what could\'ve been
it\'s so much easier to live regret
it\'s so much easier to let it under your skin

chorus 2:
and maybe someday you\'ll remember this dream
and maybe someday you\'ll remember

verse 1:
this is a sidewalk stake out
this is a dollar-sign straight-jacket
tied-up and tormented
i never heard a word you said
this is a wall street gunfight
this is a white-collar hold-up
set me up
the auction has begun

chorus:
i\'m for sale
just one more dollar
and all this can be yours
i\'m for sale
up on the block again
i\'m for sale
just one more dollar
i\'m for sale
i\'m on the block again

verse 2:
this is a blood-red blowout
this is a crimson devastation
tied-down and crucified
i\'ll say whatever you prefer
this is an upscale uprising
this is a bargain fatality
set me up

Customization / Wallpaper / Photo Manipulated

all right....this is a quasi-photomanip from a photo shoot i did last weekend with a group of my friends... i'm the one in the front..kneeling, with a chain on. i messed around with this for a while, and i think i'm happy with this now...

Wow. Nice tones and colors. It's not saturated and contrasty.

I think the border goes with it well. The only thing that bothers me a bit, is the moon in the corner, kinda makes it a bit heavy up there or atleast appears that way to me.

I still really like it, enough to fav. it.

I really dig the shot along with the manipulation around it ... awesome!

Sweet design. I love the way all the circular elements in the border contrast without clashing with the square elements in the picture.

i really love this picture. it's my desktop, replacing Lord of the Rings, so I must really like it. Everyone compliments each other and it does look like something just happened. If only we knew that a few minutes later the cops would stop by for tea there would have been something. You have a lot of potential and I can't wait to take some more goth pics with you. I do look like a wicca with the black hair and dress don't I? Keep it up friend.

~paladin2001 Apr 20, 2002

Just thought it was about time I went ahead and commented on this. You know what I think of it already, its been my desktop wallpaper for the past three days and I've been admire it there the whole time. Its just awesome, thats all I have to say. And I'm not looking too bad there either if I do say so ;) (Wink)

(For those who don't know me I'm the guy standing above everyone leaning against the cross). Awesome job. Hopefully we'll get some more good ones today, if the weather clears up.

Your friends look like interesting people.. Most of all, the stuff outside of the photo is really cool. The difference in lightness and shit makes it look like theres depth there. Hope that made sense, i just woke up :P (Razz)

I like the border work it really completes the gothic/mystic feel of the photo.
Interesting garb, like the expressions on the faces makes me think something happened and I missed it.

Very awsome shot. I will refrain from comment on the leash... for now.. at least in here.
Compastition is good, and I like the clarity.
